Next time you see her friend's parents tell them your family is converting to Judaism. You'll know right away.
Actually what you'd tell her is that it's not "Muslims" necessarily, but Islamic fundamentalists. There's a difference.

Thing is, while I’ve known MANY Muslims - to a t, every last one of them had some level of dislike for Jews, even if just saying their religion is false or some crap like that. And THEY didn’t draw a distinction between Jews and Israelis or Zionists. If there was an event where a Palestinian died, it was all about the Jews.Next time you see her friend's parents tell them your family is converting to Judaism. You'll know right away.

I remember one exchange with a co-worker - mostly a very nice guy who explained a lot about life as a Muslim - from Syria - abd one day he was so angry that the Jews fired a rocket to kill a child. I told him that was ridiculous. He was furious and showed me the article. And I told him it had to be unintentional for no other reason than that the Jews wouldn’t waste a missile if they could kill a child with a bullet.
He did concede that that made some sense but he was pretty hot about it.
I did show him data where Jews are killed almost daily. Wasn’t moved because he believed they should not be there at all. Kind of like fighting with someone squatting on your lawn.
Well, there you go then.
I believe there are moderate Muslims who condemn Islamic terrorism. I've never seen or heard of any, but I still think there surely must be some out there.
If you ever see him, take a picture for us.Well, there you go then.

I do have a relative who is - marginally Muslim. I think he's generally more interested in following college basketball, was born in this country and has had a thing for all things Star Wars since he was a child - about thirty years ago. He's the only person I know with a fairly authentic Stormtrooper costume.
Yeah, he's not your typical Muslim - married a non-Muslim, my niece - but pays lip service to holidays and traditions but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he never does salat. At least, I've never seen him do that. He's Muslim in the way some Jews actually put up Christmas decorations and eat sausage and ham on their pizza.
And he's got perfect HAIR. So yeah, not your typical Muslim.

I like Nikki just a little less than I like Tulsi.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people judge R women by looks, if they have any they must be despised.
I’m beginning to warm up a little to Tulsi but overall don’t trust her. She does make lots of appearances on shows that, were she a dyed in the wool Democrat - it would end her career in a New York minute.
But that’s also because she HAS no political career and she’s been called a Russian stooge by none other than Hillary. So politically she’s done.
Nikki is just too GOP establishment for my tastes but she does have the cojones to dress down people like Vivek.
